Fender Custom Shop ’59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic – 2020 – Aged Olympic White

For sale is a 2020 Fender Custom Shop ’59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic in the beautiful Aged Olympic White finish.

This Custom Shop Strat combines the classic look of a heavily played vintage Strat with modern, player-friendly features. The authentic Heavy Relic treatment, thin nitrocellulose lacquer, and aged hardware finish give the guitar a remarkably convincing vintage appearance and a fantastic playing feel.

The select alder body and rift-sawn maple neck feature superb craftsmanship. "Rift-sawn" refers to the way the maple for the neck is cut; the Fender Custom Shop frequently uses this method to produce a stable neck with a distinctive, straight grain pattern. The rosewood fretboard features a modern 9.5" radius, 21 medium frets, and a very comfortably proportioned '63 C-shape neck profile.

Three Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat '50s single-coil pickups deliver the classic Fender sound. Combined with the 5-way switch, the Strat offers a wide range of tones—from crisp, open Strat sounds to those characteristic "in-between" positions.
